Mr. McLean, of Windermere, is in the city. He clerked in Mighton's cigar 6tore here some three years ago. Red Paddy is back from the Kettle River district. He brought back some samples of ore from his claims there. A showman on a bicyle was such a curiosity to all the dog8'|n,theeity, that they gave one a lively chase on Wednesday. The Rev. Mr. Pyo (Methodist) preached his farewell sermon on Sunday and left on'Tuesday for liis new station at Nicola Lake. ' J. M. Harris at Three. Forks has defeated the application of the Byron N. White Co for water rights on the ground he wants the water himself. The long pending Felt vs. Dickenson suit lias been decided in favor of the plaintiff, giving him a considerable interest in several mining properties. ' ;Bears are said to be , quite numerous up Wilson creek, .several having /been shot lately, but Kaslo appears to lead in the bear business over allother districts of the Slocan. The Sandon Water & Light Company's rate for electric light for residences,is now three cents per candle power per month, and lamps furnished free. Day light is very little cheaper than this. Eber C. Smith, at one time of the Rossland Record, is running a paper, "Justioia," at Manilla, P.I. lie says the life of the paper will altogether depend on the length of time Eber C. can keep out of gaol. It is rumored that R. Jalland is going ..farming near Edmonton, and that Thos. Jalland will manage the business here. Itisalso reported Alex. McMillan will take charge of Folliott & Millan's planing mill, and that Mr. Folliott will remove to Edmonton.. Kaslo gives Ferine $150 out of its celebration money.

Harold Hatt, in the employ of Byers' hardware, has been transferred to the Kaslo branch and left for that point yesterday. Dr. PowTer was sent for the other day by a Phoenix patient attacked with blood poisoning, aiid he went over to attend him. If anyone desires to see currant and gooseberry bushes laden, or apple trees in full bloom in Sandon, he can see them in Mr. Olifie's garden. Price Ellison has bolted from the Dunsmuir government, .which makes the parties a tie, the speaker keeping the government in power. After spending a pile among the eye specialists of Spokane. W. H. Todd sought the aid of a Victoria specialist and is now recovering his sight rapidly. The Ruth Mining Company arc changing a section of their wagon road, that part below the lower tunnel. A number of men at , work clearing the way. Oscar White went to Spokane on Tuesday. More about the season's, operations at the Slocan Star may be known on .his return. This week the hands will move from the winter quarters at the mill to the workings; | for convenience.." A meeting was called for Thursday evening by acting-Mayor Jalland to consider relief to the Ferine sufferers, but no one turned up. As a matter of fact after cleaning out two years ogo, the dull times since, there are but few in town to give to such objects much us they desire to do so. Than who do it, however, can send their contributions direct to the bank there or.the Board of Trade. Tlie Payne Mine. The Staff, to Be Increased By the First of the Month. Mines and Mining. Everything is now in first class shape. All of the mining machinery (power) is in place and working most satisfactorily, and the mill is handling 1-10 tons of ore a day, night and day ehifts. Some people derided the idea of a mill at the Payne when the project was first talked of by Mr. Garde, but then there are some who always know more about others' business than they know about their own. The ore that is going through the mill is the accumulation on the dumps from the day of first operations, and is sufficient to keep the mill going at the present rate of speed between three and four years, while the money made out of the mill's workings in three or four months will pay for the institution, as without the mill the dumps would hardlji.pay the shipping cost. Of course we cannot give the exact figures, the money to be inade for the company out of the present dump will run into the hundreds of thousands ofdollars to say nothing of what may ' come from future mining. On the first of the month the staff of the.mine will be increased, and thereafter the property will probably ship 400 tons a month of clean oreinaddition to the concentrates from the mill. The company have published a most elaborate report on the workings of the property to date, in which Mr. Garde, the resident manager, comes in for much' credit for, the.skilful and economical way in which lie has handled the property since he took hold of it some half year ago. Ross Sustained in Ontario. The Hartney is to resume operations shortly. It is again reported the Chapleau is to resume work. The Payne has 120 tons of concentrates ready for shipment. The only' ore shipped from Sandon this week was 42 tons from Slocan Star. W. E. Boie is working the Amazon claim in Stanley basin, near' Whitewater. Tho Selkirk Mining Company are applying for crown grauta . for the, Selkirk group of claims. Tho Silver Glance will be started up again as soon as the snow goes, so that the lower workings can be reached. Tlie London Hill at Bear Lake shipped two tons of ore this week,- and alter the 15th of June regular shipments will be made. The Selkirk Mining Company will have a meeting of stockholders at 3 p. m. on the 24th of June in Sandon, to elect officers, &c. A. C. Vanmoerkerke sent out a trial shipment of two cars of high grade ore from the C 0 D claim at Bear Lake this week to the smelter. The Ruth will put through lhe mill a quantity of the ore on the dump, will develop with a few men, but more cannot be promised at present. . The Whitewater mine has been compelled to lay off 50 men until more development is completed, so that the ore can be produced more advantageously, ij About all the work going on at tho Ivanhoe is in two upraises from the ... lower tunnel, a length of about 310 feet.7 There is yet 50 feet to go, all the distance in ore. ��������� ,��������� Win. Hunter-.'is quoted as saying" Silverton's mining operations wilh be very active the coming summer. The Fisher Maiden, the Wakefield and the Hewett will be heavy shippers. .,*���������;���������,- E Pore Grape Cream of Tanar Powder ���������I Calling each other liars and blackguards across the floor of the house, is about the only business being done in the B. C. legislature these times. It is quite likely both parlies are right. Buying, the support'of members with railway and other subsidies i3 a great way to run a government surely. Poor old George Hamilton, nicknamed "Silver Tip," died here this week, and we are informed the city authorities threw his body into a rough box, clothes and all, and buried him without further ceremony., Of course it makes no difference to the old man, but he was a human being like ourselves, and should not have been buried like an animal in the stable. Some of the parties connected with the burial'declare a sanitor in a court cannot get fair treatment if he is poor, and this is the way they treat men that are poor, while the money thrown away any month unnecessarily would have given the old man a decent burial. The Liberals Will Only Have Four Majority in Ontiario Elections. The result of the elections in Ontario on Thursday show that the Liberals will remain in power for another four years.

Tlie Mining Review. SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1902. A CHANGE. It is more that passing strange that there are so many wage earners and others who are drawing the money out of these wage earners, that cannot or will not see changes must be made in the ami nig usages of this country, if the industry is to be continuously prosecuted. The returns have shown, that with some eighty men working, the VV.hitewatermine earned but $216 in the month of April. The last annual report ofthe Ruth (a good property) showed the mine lost money in last year's operations. The last report of the Le Roi shows that at the present price of silver and copper ore oi that mine it does not bring $10 a ton, and with government taxes, freight and treatment, and wages as they are the expenses of operation cannot be brought to $9.a ton. What do all these things show? That if the values of metals do not ascend, the government tax must be cut off and freight and treatment and wages must decline or mining must suspend, men go out of employment, minor industries, and com.- inercial interests sink into oblivion. The day of common equality, when all will become co-partners in the profits of the world's production may be coming, but it will be some time before it will be here. The present system will last for some time yet, and we must make thebest of it���������we mustallowcapi-, tal a profit, if it is to be employed giv ing food to the wage earner and muscle to all other industrial enterprises. In nearly all substantial respects as an,' economy, mining is like wheat, growing The farmer and the mineral producer are equally powerless to advance the prices of their products���������they both must accept what the markets offer them; they have no means of changing the conditions that regulate prices. To produce then, they must bring the costs of production, after allowing a fairinterest on money invested, below the' market price. There is no help for it? It ia either do that or go out of business. This paper has never been an advocate of long hours for the laborer; or low remuneration to the wage earner. The latter, if he does an honest day's toil invariably deserves all he can get; but he must not expect to get more than he can earn for his employers. This is the point. The wages of farm help on the plains of Western Canada vary Irom $25 to $50 per month���������the prices of agricultural products, and the extent of yield in every case determining the exact figure. The miner of B. C. is in precisely the same boat as the farm hard of the prairie; and while the wages of the latter go up and down barometer like by the conditions we have named,the miner . HOPEFUL VIEW The hopeful view consumptives take of their own cases is strongly in their favor. Each year is showing a larger percentage of cures. One of the best reasons for good hope is the record of Scott's Emulsion as a medicine for consumptives. So long as the system is strong enough to use medicine of any kind it can use Scott's Emulsion. The reason for its helpfulness in this disease is because of its long tolerance by the patient; one does not tire of it as quickly as other medicines and that is where the orrcat benefit comes. says I must have such and such wages no matter what minerals may be worth or you must shut up your mines and bring disaster on the entire community. Ib not this really anomlaous? Here is the field for the man who is really the friend of the miner and the friend of the country���������for such recommendations as Chris Foley made in this city, when he told the miners they would be much better off with lower wages and steady employment than they would . be with strikes and occasional employment. The man, however, who gets the miners' wages whatever they are���������who pulls him for all he is worth will not tell him this, lest he should not spend his money with him. He will simply echo the stand of the miner whatever it is, whetherstrike or labor, and therein most of the trouble arises tions of the business community would look at this matter philosophically and use their influence accordingly instead of reaching for the ever present dollar it would have much to do in bringing about better mining conditions in the country. We simply contend that if the country is to prosper the wages of men must rise and fall according to the prices of minerals, as the wage of farm hands according to the prices of wheat and other agricultural products. We know there are some who will scout the idea, but our conclusions are measured out by the.language of ever present stubborn facts. NOTICE.

Dated this 14th day of May, 1902. J. H. LAVELLEY. ! Health is a magnet which, irresistibly draws the man to the woman in life's mating time. Health does more than tint the skin with beauty ; it puts music into the voice aud buoyancy into the Btep, as well as happiness into the" heart. A great many women covet beauty and are constantly seeking aids to beautify them. Let a vvonian first seek perfect health and all other charms shall be added to her. There can be no general health for women while there is disease of the delicate womanly organissy. The first. 6tep to perfect health is to cure womanly diseases by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. "I used four bottles of your 'Favorite Prc- ecriptiou ' and one of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' " writes Mrs.' Elmer I). Shearer, of Mount- hope, Lancaster Co., Pa., "and can say that I am cured of that dreaded disease, uterine trouble. Am in better health than ever before. Everyone who knows me is surprised to see me look eowell. In June I was'so poor in health that nt times I could not walk. To-day I am cured. I tell everybody that Dr. Pierce's medicines Cured me." Free. Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser is sznt free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of customs and mailing only. Send 31 one-cent stamps for the book in paper covers, or 50 stamps for the cloth-bound volume. Address Dr. It. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. When Mr. Foley was here in speaking .of the old political parties he openly denounced the machine. The wonder ia if he knows the meaning of the word machine. For instance, the "Progressive Party" makes it incumbent on all candidates on accepting nominations at their bands to sign undated resignations sworn to and to be handed into the Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council whenever a majority of the convention nominating them may think tt proper to do so. Of course it is not to the Lieut.- Governbr-in-Council that resignations must be sent to be effectual, but to Progressives this makes but little 'differ-, ence." Now just for a moment think of a candidate being compelled to do this and consider himself "independent!" He is not allowed to use. his own judgement in the house, merely'to do as he is told to do from day to day or get out. To jump in the house when the string is pulled, like a jack-in-the-box, or go back to private life. This is even worse than a machine, it constitutes a candidate a tool or implement pure and eim- ple. How a being can comply with such conditions and call himself a man of independence is simply past human com prehension. / NOTICE.

The editor of this paper has always held that labor is under paid and that hours of labor are too long; but labor unions who appear to entertain the same opinions do not go to work the right way to bring about the des'red results. For instance, over in Portland, Oregon, there is now a strike on involving' 8,000 men because the planing mill owners refused to give shorter hours for the same pay. Most likely the men would be entitled to what they demand, and should get it, if conditions with, the owners were so changed that they Could grant the demand without loss. The owners say they are in competition with men who pay lower wages for the same number of hours, and to increase cost of production means ruin to them. In this they are also probably right. Generally speaking, in thisageof competition, employers cannot without proper notico bear an increase in the cost of production without danger of ruin. Now supposing all the mill hands of the American continent were to give their employers six months' notice, setting out that on that day in six months' time they would demand shorter hours and more pay, it would enable all theowners on the continent to so adjust their affairs that they could meet the demands without loss. The millmen for instance, with whom the Portland owners are competing would have to advance their prices, and competition with advance of wages all around would go on the same. If, for instance, in our own case, the miners instead of holding out when the eighthour lawcameinto force for theold wage, bad previously madesucharrangements as would have forced an advance iu the price of lead and silver or a decline in operating expenses, in other respects, so the net receipts to the owners would have remained the same, their demands could have been granted without friction from any quarter. It is this thing of trying Lo snatch concessions by piecemeal, without giving the other parties affected the sligl'testchance to change their conditions, that is the objectionable feature of the entire principle. Highway robbery is considered an offense principally because the party to be subjected to loss is given no chance to protect himself and save himself from loss without compensation. If advised in advance of what was likely to happen, he could place himself in a fair position to defend. Labor is entitled to more concessions; but to secure universal sympathy it must adopt means of securing them without inflicting financial loss on others.

Nothing but the most profound regret is expressed on every hand the province over at the distressing accident in the coal mines at Fernie on Friday evening last. It is perhaps the most distressing incident of the kind that ever befell.the province���������150 men en- , tombed and killed without a moments notice or the slightest chance of escape. For the first 48 hours after the explosion, there were hopes that some of the men in the workings might betaken out alive, but as the work of rescue proceeded it became only the more evident this was mere delusion and that the work of human destruction was most complete. Exactly the number killed in the accident is not even yet known, but it cannot be 4ess than 150. This is the more regrelable from the fact many of them had families, in the town and different parts of the country, of whom they were the only support. As the names appear, it becomes the more evident from one-half to two- thirds of the number were English- speaking men. Several of them were from the Slocan, but at -writing the indentity of these is not established. The management of all such properties no doubt think that all precautionary measures are at all times observed in the workings; hut it is quite evident still further assurances must be secured for these miners before the people feel that in the mines there is perfect safety.

I K������839tt9l)Bma J THE MINING REVIEW���������Saturday, May 31,' 1902. To Sue the City. We are advised the Minnesota Silver Co. are going to bring an action against thc council for destroying their intake in the city iluine,and thoy will recover more especially if the city neyer got permission from the government to change the course of thc creek and build the flume in the altered channel, as we believe is the case. The city most likely in the first place could have prevented the company from building the intake in ���������-��������� the flume, and probably it could have compelled tho company to remove the intake when in course of construction by process ef law, if it could be shown it stood to damage the city's property; but certainly the council of their own free will cannot chop other parties property lo pieces and remove it by piecemeal. If the council some months ago saw it should be removed for the safety of the city, and the company refused to do it after notified to do so, the next step was the prpper recourse to the courts, and the matter would have been settled long-ago. Instead, however, we have a legalfight on hand and- loss to tho city in any event. The trouble is the law and order that govern in other places are wholly ignored here, and the city is run on the personal prejudices of three or four of the councillors (they are not all prejudiced, fortunately)' and (iie officials; and thc man who raises a hand to point; out the mistake is simply accused of bucking the council and the persona] prejudice that rules must try and knife him for his : audacity. Tlie aldermen must be taken like the woman of old without suspicion or if criticised, the citizen must be subjected to Oz'arine justice and be whipped with scorpions. How much better it would be for the council to read up the law on tlieseniat- teri and follow it. If they do not want lo take the trouble let them take the .advice of some one who does know it, and avert all this continual bickering, friction and costs.
